Reference guide? (not tutorial)

Hi, is there a single reference guide to the prims and their parameters? I'm not looking for a tutorial, nor basic information like position, size and rotation. Instead I'd like to know how the other parameters affect different prims. How does Path affect a Tube as opposed to a Cylinder? Does the Taper value represent a percentage change over the length or height? Is Skew available for a sphere?

Which Prims are derived from which other Prims, if any? And ideally, what calculations go into applying the parameters to a Prim? Does the Ivory Tower have such a guide?

many thanks, Jonathan Ayres

The most comprehensive "reference" I've ever seen is The Sojourners guides. You can se them on her land and Yadne's Junkyard, and you can buy them on her land.
